Looking after your information
What about research?
In the NHS we carry out many research projects. If any of our research needs to involve you personally we will ask you if you want to be involved and obtain your consent before going ahead. You do not have to take part - it is entirely your choice. Deciding not to be involved will not affect the care you receive.
Some research involves using information about large groups of people rather than individuals. In this instance your information is anonymised before we use it. This involves removing anything that could identify you such as your name and address. If we want to use information where you can be identified then we will ask your permission to do so.
Will my information be seen by anybody outside of the NHS?
